| dbo:abstract | Stilfragen: Grundlegungen zu einer Geschichte der Ornamentik is a book on the history of ornament by the Austrian art historian Alois Riegl. It was published in Berlin in 1893. The English translation renders the title as Problems of style: foundations for a history of ornament, although this has been criticized by some. It has been called "the one great book ever written about the history of ornament." Riegl wrote the Stilfragen while employed as director of the textile department at what was then the Österreichisches Museum für Kunst und Industrie (today the Museum für angewandte Kunst) in Vienna. His primary intention was to argue that it was possible to write a continuous history of ornament. This position is argued in explicit opposition to that of the "technical-materialist" school, according to which "all art forms were always the direct products of materials and techniques" and that ornamental "motifs originated spontaneously throughout the world at a number of different locations." Riegl associates this view with the followers of Gottfried Semper, who had advanced a related argument in his Der Stil in den technischen Künsten; oder praktischer Ästhetik (Style in the technical arts; or practical aesthetics, 1878-79). However, Riegl consistently disassociates Semper's followers from Semper himself, writing that The theory of the technical, materialist origin of the earliest ornaments is usually attributed to Gottfried Semper. This association is, however, no more justified than the one made between contemporary Darwinism and Darwin. As the technical-materialist position had attained the status of dogma, Riegl stated that "the most pressing problem that confronts historians of the decorative arts today is to reintegrate the historical thread that has been severed into a thousand pieces." Accordingly, he argued for a continuous development of ornament from ancient Egyptian through Greek and Roman and up to early Islamic and, eventually, Ottoman art. (en) Stilfragen: Grundlegungen zu einer Geschichte der Ornamentik è un libro sulla storia dell'ornamento dello storico dell'arte austriaco Alois Riegl. Fu pubblicato a Berlino nel 1893. Tradotto in lingua inglese con il titolo: Problems of style: foundations for a history of ornament, è stato criticato da alcuni. È stato chiamato "l'unico grande libro mai scritto sulla storia dell'ornamento". Riegl scrisse lo Stilfragen mentre lavorava come direttore del dipartimento tessile in quello che all'epoca era il Museo Österreichisches für Kunst und Industrie (oggi Museum für angewandte Kunst) a Vienna. La sua intenzione principale era di sostenere che era possibile scrivere una storia continua sugli ornamenti. Questa posizione è sostenuta in opposizione esplicita a quella della scuola "tecnico-materialista", secondo la quale "tutte le forme d'arte sono sempre state il prodotto diretto di materiali e tecniche" e che i motivi ornamentali "sono nati spontaneamente in tutto il mondo in un numero di località diverse". Riegl associa questo punto di vista ai seguaci di Gottfried Semper, che aveva avanzato un argomento correlato nel suo Der Stil in den technischen Künsten; oder praktischer Ästhetik Style in the technical arts; or practical aesthetics, 1878-79). Tuttavia, Riegl dissocia costantemente i seguaci di Semper dallo stesso Semper, scrivendolo. Poiché la posizione tecnico-materialista aveva raggiunto lo status di dogma, Riegl affermò che "il problema più urgente che gli storici delle arti decorative affrontano oggi è quello di reintegrare il filo storico che è stato reciso in mille pezzi". Di conseguenza, ha sostenuto un continuo sviluppo degli ornamenti dall'antico Egitto attraverso i greci e i romani e fino ai primi anni dell'Islam e, infine, dell'arte ottomana. (it) |
